Kids martial arts at Little footprints daycare center in Kiaraville

The fun, fitness and self-discipline kids love in Kiaraville!​CKD is a striking style martial art that teaches focus and discipline, similar to Taekwondo and Karate. Its movements have been developed in the 1970's according to scientific principles. Rather than sparring to score points as in Sport Karate or Taekwondo, our CKD martial art programs focus on self defence.​Our CKD martial arts for kids program teaches practical self defence with in depth discussions on how this applies to different contexts, such as at home, at school and especially in relation to bullying.

What makes our kids martial arts classes different to well-known styles such as Karate and Taekwondo is our emphasis on non-competitiveness and compassion as core values in class and as part of a healthy lifestyle. Each student progresses based on their own merit not based on how good they are compared to anyone else. In training and in gradings our program focuses on cooperation rather than competition and gives value to students based on their unique journey, not based on results of fighting tournaments.

In our classes, your child will have fun while releasing energy and learning self defence in a fun and supporting environment. This is the place to go for improving CONFIDENCE, CONCENTRATION and BEHAVIOUR.

Our Kids Martial Arts classes are perfect for any child. Taught by a certified Master Instructor, your child will learn the importance of respect, self-discipline, perseverance, self-defense, and confidence.​Every one of our Martial Art students will make friends and learn aspects of the CKD curriculum including the importance of showing respect to parents and teachers, tools to aid focus, practice of communication skills, and coordination while improving their physical fitness.
